Not sure if you'll see my reply, but in the US this is generally not true for EE. If you're CompE, perhaps. In my EE undergrad, you were required to take only one CS course. It was otherwise heavier on math and circuits/electronics. By the end of the 2nd year, you'd have had two circuits courses, and have taken ODEs, and 3 semesters of calculus. Even the junior year is focused on electronics, E&M and motors - although you can start taking other electives (digital signal processing, etc).
But numerical methods was not required for us. It was a senior level elective.
And I'm not saying this is a good or a bad thing or trying to justify it, just explaining how it is and what some of their rationales are.
